Brief Summary of Unit

Knowing how to solve linear equations and inequalities is an extremely important mathematical tool. Students will be able to use this knowledge to solve for multiple variable equations algebraically and graphically. Students will be able solve these systems using techniques such as, rearranging the equation, find the slope of the equation, and using simple math tools such as PEMDAS. Students will be asked to create and solve their own equations and track their progress using blogger, iMovie, Sketchfu, Student Publishing, Mind Mapping, and a Smart Board. Students will be formatively assessed using each one of these technology tools. Students will learn how to find and create their own linear inequalities and equations using variables in order to perform tasks such as building a floor plan for a house or creating a navigational route around the Casco Bay Islands.
